The paper also explores verbal and non-verbal communication patterns as well as the enduring importance of genderbased restrictions. These cultural dimensions are further examined in the context of digital communication, where traditional codes of etiquette and confidentiality remain influential. Drawing on academic studies and author's personal experience, the article formulates practical recommendations for entrepreneurs. It concludes that cultural adaptability, reliance on intermediaries, and respect for Islamic ethical frameworks are strategic necessities. Business success in the region is determined by the ability to establish trust and navigate the symbolic order of Arab societies.
